Chronicles of Celestial Origins

As the days passed, the people who fled returned to Guangling City one after another.

The third column originally had eight stewards, but now only five are left. In addition, the casualties of the teams at all levels have reached about 30%.

After the team assembled, they set off again. Since all the troops suffered a lot of casualties, they did not split into three groups this time. The remaining troops headed towards Changshan County.

I originally thought that there would be a tough battle outside Changshan County, but I didn't expect that by the time the army arrived, the Changshan County defenders had already disappeared.

The coalition forces captured Changshan County without bloodshed, and everyone was happy.

In the solemn and majestic hall, everyone gathered together. In addition to the various officers of the legion, the chiefs of each column also arrived one after another.

Sitting upright on the main seat was the legion commander Wang Jingxing. The legion easily took over Changshan County. He was obviously in a good mood. With a spring-breathing smile on his face, he said with a smile: "Mubei Demon is quite aware of current affairs." , knowing that they were outnumbered, they fled in despair, saving us a lot of effort. "

Duan Yanping, the leader on the left side below, answered: "All the ministries attacked the city and expelled the demons and made a lot of achievements. I have ordered people to collect all the gains into a book and apply for rewards from the coalition forces. In addition, after the coalition forces issued instructions Before the latest deployment, the headquarters must guard the territory under the jurisdiction of Changshan County to prevent the Mubei demon from coming back. "

"The first column is now ordered to garrison Tongyuan City, the second column is garrisoned at Xiaosheng City, the third column is garrisoned at Fanyang City, and the fourth column is garrisoned at Huaxin City..."

The discussion lasted for about an hour, and everyone dispersed. Tang Ning returned to the column, summoned the stewards and leaders of each regiment, and conveyed the contents of the discussion to the regiment.

Five days later, the column assembled and set off to garrison in Fanyang City. Tang Ning ordered everyone in the column to gather on the Tianling Ship and take the first step, leaving only a few hundred people responsible for controlling the third- and fourth-order warships to move slowly behind.

A month later, everyone arrived at Fanyang City. In the room, Tang Ning and the leaders of each regiment gathered in a room, talking non-stop. The main content of the discussion was the division of resource areas.

There are thirty pavilion cities under Fanyang City, and each regiment manages the resources of three pavilion cities on average. Since the resources of each pavilion city are different, for example, some pavilion cities have more spiritual mines, and some pavilion cities have less spiritual mines. Some pavilion cities have top-grade spiritual mines and fifth-level spiritual veins. How to differentiate them specifically needs to be considered.

Some alliances have suffered too many casualties, so they need to be given better resource areas to appease them. Some alliances have made the most achievements, and they need to be given better resource areas.

This involves various interpersonal relationships. In short, it is not that simple. You can just assign it randomly.

This kind of distribution of interests is the most likely to cause conflicts. If it is not handled well, it will not only damage the morale of the team, but also may lead to disputes.

Tangning, Fang Jing, and Wang Qi also discussed it for a long time before coming up with a plan because there were many factors to consider.

After receiving the order, each regiment assembled and set off the next day to garrison in each pavilion city.

…

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed by in the blink of an eye. On this day, Tang Ning was practicing with his eyes closed in the room. There was a knock on the door outside. He opened his eyes, waved his hand, and the stone door opened. Gao Yuan came in from the outside and came towards him. He saluted and said, "Uncle Master, there is a monk named Lu Xun outside who wants to visit you on important matters."

"Lu Xun, who are you? A monk from our headquarters?"

"No, he claims to be a disciple of the Huanglong Sect."

"Huanglong Sect? What is it?"

"The disciples don't know either."

"Tell him that I have something to do and I won't see guests for the time being. You go and investigate this Huanglong Sect Lu Xun."

"Yes, disciple, take your leave." Gao Yuan left in response. After a while, he came back to report: "Lu Xun has gone. He asked his disciple to pass this thing to you."

Tangning took the storage bag from his hand and looked inside with her consciousness. There were many stone boxes and bottles and cans inside: "Did this Lu Xun leave anything behind?"

"I heard that since you have something important to do, he can't bother you and will come to visit you another day."

"You go first!"

"Yes." Gao Yuan retreated in response, and the stone door closed again.

Tang Ning looked at the storage bag, and many stone boxes and bottles and jars floated out one by one. There were more than twenty stone boxes and more than a dozen bottles and jars. When he opened it, he found that they were all filled with high-level talismans, scrolls, and jars. Pills, spiritual treasures, formations.

These include two low-level sixth-level talisman scrolls, one mid-level sixth-level talisman scroll, three spiritual treasures with fifth-level spiritual beasts stationed there, three sets of fifth-level formations, four major pieces of virtual refining and five bottles of elixirs from the early stage of virtual refining.

Looking at this dazzling array of valuable treasures, Tang Ning was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

What does Lu Xun mean? Why do you give yourself so many treasures for no reason? The total value of these things is no less than one million high-grade spiritual stones.

If it was a meeting gift, it was too expensive. The so-called courtesy for nothing is either adultery or theft. Lu Xun sent this heavy gift before they even met, so he must be asking for something, and the thing he asked for must be not small.

There was no joy in Tangning's heart, only confusion. He put all these items back into the storage bag with an expressionless face, ignored them, and continued to practice the Fugue Art with his eyes closed.

At night, Gao Yuan came into the room again, bowed and said, "Uncle Master, my disciple has found out Lu Xun's identity."

"Say it!"

"Lu Xun is the son of Lu Zhengxian, the leader of the Huanglong Sect. After the Qinghai Civil War, many sects and aristocratic families in Pingyuan County were bloodbathed, and several sects in Changshan County were wiped out. Only the Huanglong Sect escaped, and their power expanded rapidly. . But as the Mubei demons moved south and captured Changshan County, the Huanglong Sect actually turned against the Mubei demons and surrendered to them. "

Tang Ning frowned slightly. Since the Huanglong Sect had fallen to the Mubei Demon, why did they send him such a heavy gift? It must be that the head of the sect regretted it and wanted to use his connections to return to the alliance.

"Where is this Lu Xun now? Is he still in Fanyang City?"

"Disciples don't know this."

"Tell me all the news you heard about the Huanglong Sect."

"Yes, the Huanglong Sect has three to four thousand disciples, and its leader teaches Lu Zhengxian to cultivate in the middle stage of spiritual transformation. The one who came to visit today is his son Lu Xun, who has cultivated in the early stage of spiritual transformation. His mountain gate is originally located in the Huangyuan Mountains of Fanyang City... …”

Gao Yuan told him what he knew. Tang Ning nodded calmly and asked him to step back. Her thoughts were spinning in her heart.

No wonder Lu Xun gave him such a heavy gift before they even met. His intention was obvious. He just wanted to ask him to report to the coalition forces, say something nice to them, and accept their defection again.

Since the Mubei demons went south, they have attacked cities and villages all the way. They first captured Donglai County, and then Beihai and the plains. Nearly half of the entire Qingzhou area is under their control, and among them there are inevitably aristocratic families and sects who have surrendered. .

Regarding the forces that surrendered to the Mubei demons, the coalition forces have so far not come up with a specific strategy. Since the war began, the Mubei demons have been moving southward with overwhelming force, and the coalition forces have not had many opportunities to regain lost ground.

The only few counterattacks were quickly reoccupied by the Mubei demons.

According to past practice, the coalition forces will accept the surrender of some defecting forces, thus giving the Huanglong Sect a glimmer of hope. Just like a drowning person who sees a straw, he will naturally try his best to grab it.

Tang Ning is the straw for the Huang Long Sect. Whether the coalition forces accept the surrender of the Huang Long Sect, the role he can play is crucial, because he is now the leader of the column guarding the city, and all affairs in the city are under his jurisdiction.

If he said more good things to the Huanglong Sect, the coalition forces would be likely to accept their surrender. If he said a few bad words, the coalition forces' hope of accepting the Huanglong Sect's surrender would be slim.

In other words, he may not be able to accomplish anything, but he can certainly do bad things.

The reason why the Huanglong Sect surrendered to the Mubei Demons was because the coalition forces had been defeated repeatedly and the situation was declining. In order to preserve the resources and industry, they turned against the Mubei coalition forces.

They would never have thought that the coalition forces would counterattack back to Changshan County so quickly. Changshan County was their base. Once they left here, they would be rootless grass.

Not all forces in Qingzhou are of the same mind as the coalition. Many sects and aristocratic families are just grassroots and will fall wherever the wind blows.

For them, it doesn't matter who captures Qingzhou, but defending their own resource industries is the most important.

After the civil strife in Qingzhou ended, Huanglong Zongben dominated Fanyang City, and his power increased greatly. He even extended his hands to many places in Changshan County. The reason for this was that Fanyang City's cultivation resources were very rich, ranking among the best in the entire Changshan County. It has a total of There are five top-quality spiritual mines, eleven fifth-level spiritual veins, and countless high-level stone mines. How could the Huanglong Sect be willing to leave these treasured places?

After thinking for a long time and considering all the pros and cons, Tang Ning made a decision and just waited for Lu Xun to visit again.
